Hooking and batting legs

I need some help with Guinness. Everytime that she wants to play or get attention she will bat at my leg. She will sit down and look at you but if your not quick at rewarding her she will bat at you. I have tried ignoring her, grabing her leg and holding it down, swating her back with my feet and time out. Nothing seems to be working. If I get up to leave the room she will hook her leg around mine and trip me. I have stopped and pushed her away, hooking her leg but she takes this as play time. I don't want her to trip anyone especially my grandmother. Any advise would be greatly appreciated

How old is she? The best thing to do is totally ignore her...easy to say; hard to do!
It has worked best with Tiggy if I give her something else to do, like carrying a stuffie or asking her to sit or drop. Just saying 'no' doesnt really work that well for us as she needs to have something to do and seems to get stuck on the default behaviour, even if she knows I dont like it.
Think up some good replacement behaviour that is an easy transition, like bring a drop instead of paw you or get a stuffie instead of trip you and see if that helps.
Guinness is only 10 months. Thanks for the advice I will try to give her something more else to do.
Good luck!
Let us know how you get on with Guiness.
panda is 6 and she still bats at me and takes me down.........
